REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived
without substantive change from Art. 43, §§
769(a)(3)(v) and 772.

Subsection (a) of this section is standard
language added to this and, where necessary,
corresponding sections of other titles of this
article as discussed in the General Revisor's
Note to this article.

Subsection (c) of this section is standard
language added to conform with Board practice and
with present, similar provisions in Art. 43 that
govern examination for licensing by other health
occupation boards. It provides an element of
fundamental fairness by requiring the Board to
give qualified applicants notice before the
administration of examinations.
